Heres some pic taking today of my granddaughter that is being a part of the wedding I'm doing in a few weeks. I got her dress today so thought I would try it on her to make sure all fit well. Well, while I had her all dressed up,thought I would take a few shots just to practice on before the wedding.

I still got a long way to go to get them right but maybe by then I will have learn more from this forum, reading books, and so on.

What could I have done better, that you all suggest? As far as these go.
I need all the help and advice I can get thanks.

Well here goes don't go to hard on me PLEASE! ha Thanks.

And she want be holding that big flower bouquet, these were just practice, shots and she was liking to hold the flower. Ha it's not even finished yet still got more work on all that too. BOY! what have I gotten my self in to lol.

Well thanks Ro1 makes a girl smile. Just made my day. and love the comments. Glad you liked them. I hope the wedding pictures will come out good maybe better than these, the one here were just some I was practicing on. And I know when I get in that church Alli's going to be different setup. lighting and all.

So I will try and got the night before the wedding and look the church over and take my camera and try and get a few shots in just to see about how the lighting will be for that day. And I can go from there.

But if they turn out ok I will post some there ha but if now I want lol.
Will be to ashamed too lol. But again thanks for the nice comments.
Friends, Gail

I'm glad you're practicing for the event. Her eyes in #1 are just black holes. I'd suggest that you use a weak fill flash to fill the eye sockets & put a highlight into them. The 1 flower over the lips doesn't help.
#3 looks better.
In #5 the PS is too obvious, & the blurred flowers are distracting.
Two weeks to go. Lots of time left to practice! ;-)
